Chew Valley, Somerset

This is the River Severn after the bore, not much room left before flooding over the levee.



This is the Severn Bore on its way. All I could see was this wall of water coming around the corner. There was no wave with the bore and therefore no wave riders. You can see a little splashing on the other side of the river (if you look hard enough). The river level rose about 8 feet as the bore arrived. Sue and I did a runner so we didn't get wet, others were not as fortunate.



The two photos below were taken in Wells. The first is of the roof at St. Cuthberts and the second is of the Vicars Close just behind the cathedral.





Sue and I have been away with the caravan to Somerset. The main reason for going was to see the Severn Bore, this was to be a 4 star (5 is the highest). There were no 4 stars last year.
We stayed at Bath Chew Valley Caravan Site where we stayed 4 years ago. It is a good position to visit friends and to get to the Bore.
